He is graceful in movement and gesture, and speaks his lines with finish and force. The supporting company is an excellent one. In the museum hall the wonderful bearded man, Charles Wilkinson, and Gus Whites punch.
 THE BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
 The third concert by the Bost on Symphony orchestra, under the leadership of MT. Will helm Gericke, drew a large and appeciative audience at Carll's Opera House last even ing. The concert was delightful one. The members of the orchestra are not only good musicians, but they enter into their work with much brightness, earnestness and in telligence that it is almost much pleasure to see them play as to hear their music. Their great success at their first appearance in New York city on Monday evening was fully deserved, and it is no wonder that their inimitable rendition of Haendel's s'Largo" received the enthusiastic applause which metropolitan audience awards true merit The programme last eve- ming included Brahms second symphony, Liszt's s'Tasso, Lamento Trionfo" and three of the best known works of Berlioz: ''Le Carnival Romain, D 'FLe Danse des Sylphes'' from ''Le Damnation de Faust,' and his rangement for the orchestra of Weber's 'In- vitation to the Dance" 'Le Carnival Ro- main" is one of the earlier works of Berlioz, having been written as 8 second over ture to one of his operas. It has always been popular, and on one occasion it was pe1 formed by an orchestra of nearly one it's author. The harp solo by MT. Sehneck- CT, ''Rondo Brilliante" (GodefroiO was we'll executed and the audience compelled this promising young artist to respond to an encore. At the conclusion of his second se- lection both orchestra and audience united ih the applause. The next selection was Brahms Symphony in D ma ajor." Johan- nes Brahms Is the greatest living composer of symphonies written four-and all of them are frequently performed. The one chosen last evening is the general favorite although it is not yet ten years since it's first production at Vienna on Christmas eve, 1877. It was exquisitely played, but our lovers of music do not hear symphonies often enough to be very critical or appreciative listeners of the longer works of living composers. It was well received, however, and was greeted with quite round of applause. The solo for the French horn "Maiernacht" (Anton Mayer) by Xavier Reiter was one of the fea- lures of the evening and was revelation to many of his listeners. It is seldom that the horn is used as solo instrument, but in the hands of such artist as Herr Reiter nothing could be more effective. ''Les Danse des Sylphes, though it contains but few measures, was of sufficient length to illustrate the later works of s'Berlioz," :" whose influence will be felt far and wide but who will never have direct followers. He stands alone among musicians, original, bi- zarre, puissant. His orchestration of Weber's Invitation to the Dance" which was the next selection rendered, is considered almost as marvellous as the work itself. Weber left only the piano sketch of this beautiful com- position, which was designed for the ballet music of an opera which he in tended to write, but which never appeared An artistic ren- dition of Liszt's "Tasso, Lamento e Fri onfo," which was also first written for the piano and afterwards rewritten for the or chestra, concluded the concert. The com poser once said that he had attempted to de- scribe in music tes grand antithesis of genius ill used and misunderstood in life, but in death surrounded by 8 halo of glory whose rays should penetrate the hearts of his per sscutors. It was performed in this city about fourteen years ago by Theodore Thom- as' orchestra and was then recognized as the gem of the evening. It was cer tainly very brilliant as it was played last evening and we hope to hear it again before the 1 close of the present century. We believe
